FL Tesla Kills One Pedestrian (Stepped Out of Car)

Just a month after a father and son were killed by Tesla on the side of a road while refueling their car, Tesla has struck again. This latest tragedy, where “driverless” hasn’t been ruled out yet, involved a Tesla killing someone who had pulled over to fix a tire.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers are asking people to look out for a 2021 or newer Tesla Model X, likely black or gray.

They say the vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run crash that killed a 37-year-old Lakeland man on Friday night.

The victim was fixing a flat tire on the shoulder of I-275 just north of 4th St. N in St. Pete when he was struck and killed.

Authorities may be investigating whether the Tesla owner was asleep, probing whether it was Tesla’s known deadly software and hardware design defects that took another human life.
